Bam Margera, the star better known for his portrayal in "Jackass: The Movie", was arrested Friday March 3rd, 2006 for unlawful possession of a dangerous weapon. He was in Los Angeles that day to film a Right Guard deodorant commercial.

After finishing the shoot around 7 p.m., "I met up with some people from Island Def Jam (Records) and went to a party at the Roosevelt Hotel. At some point they ended up giving me a pair of brass knuckles as a gift. I just tossed them in my bag and then showed up drunk at the airport to catch a flight home," Margera revealed.

Unfortunately, Margera was stopped by security at LAX airport in Los Angeles and "They booked me and took me to this small-a** cell with this glue-huffing Mexican and some 50-year-old homeless guy. I'm mad at myself because I think that if I wasn't drunk at the airport I could've weaseled my way out of this whole thing, but I was slurring my words. Sometimes I'm an idiot."

However, he was then released the next morning after posting $20,000 bail.
